CLASS SONG ZAE LEHMAN Tune: Chorus of M-O-T-H-E-R. Now this week our High School days are over, And our four short years are done; And we’ve bravely tried to conquer Till at last we’ve honors won. By life’s best and highest ambitions Are we spurred to actions high; Yet we’ll ne’r forget the dear old school Where many happy terms rolled by. Yes, our battles will be many, Maybe victories all too few; But our busy class of students Hope great tasks and deeds to do. Black and Orange must surely Win high rank for Seventeen In the annals of our High School, Which to us so good has been! ( horns: S means Seventeen, our glorious class, E is for our efforts great and small; N means noble thoughts our school inspires us, I mean irksome tasks o’ercome by all. () is for the Black and Orange, our colors, R means light and right we’ll always be, Put them all together, they spell Senior, Which at last we’re glad to be. Page Nineteen
